  • Toni on Daniel 4 - 10 years ago
    The king spake, and said, Is not this great Babylon, that I have built for the house of the kingdom by the might of my power, and for the honour of my majesty? Whenever man receives power and honor and riches, he forgets God is the one who has allowed him to have these things. People forget who is their health and strength. Instead of Nebuchadnezzar giving God the praise and glory for all that he had, he boasted in himself. Is this not what we do today? Instead of giving God all the praise and honor, we try to say what we've done. Without God,we can do nothing. Nebuchadnezzar quickly learned that God is all and in all. He formed us from the dust of the earth. Take up dust from the earth into your hands and **** on it - it disappears like it never existed. That is what man is - nothing. Yet, people want to boast in what they have and what all they have accomplished. But just as Nebuchadnezzar learned in a lowly and degrading way, God will bring down the lofty look of men. But what I did like about Nebuchadnezzar is once God humbled him, he then gave God all the glory and honor.
